How do you verify remote clock-ins?
Each clock-in is tied to a verified face on the employee’s phone, with GPS and geofencing confirming an approved location.
How does a biometric attendance system work?
Employees enrol once. At clock-in, NCheck captures their face or contactless fingerprint, matches it to an encrypted template, and logs an accurate, time-stamped record — on a phone, tablet, IP camera or terminal.
Is biometric data secure, and who can access it?
With on-premises deployment, biometric data is stored as encrypted templates on your own servers — never in a third-party cloud. Only your organisation can access it, supporting GDPR and data-residency requirements.
Does it work without an internet connection?
Yes. NCheck records attendance offline and syncs automatically when a connection returns — ideal for sites, fields and remote locations.
Do we need to buy special hardware?
No. NCheck runs on employees’ own phones and tablets, on IP cameras, or on dedicated terminals (Aratek, Telpo, BioRugged) — your choice, no lock-in.
How does biometric attendance save money?
By tying every clock-in to a verified person, it ends buddy punching and timesheet padding, so you pay only for hours actually worked — and accurate records cut payroll errors and disputes.
Does it integrate with payroll and HR systems?
Yes. NCheck exports accurate work hours, overtime and reports for your payroll and HR systems.
Is biometric attendance GDPR-compliant and legal?
Used correctly — with consent, encrypted templates and clear retention limits — yes. NCheck’s on-premises option keeps biometric data under your control. (General information, not legal advice.)
Read our GDPR guide →Can NCheck also handle access control and visitors?
Yes. NCheck unifies time attendance, access control (doors and gates) and visitor management on one biometric platform.
How do you stop buddy punching when staff work from home?
Face verification ties every clock-in to the actual person — shared logins or a colleague clocking in for someone simply don’t work.
Is employee privacy respected on personal phones?
Yes — the free Attend app records only the check-in event (an encrypted template match plus GPS at that moment). There is no tracking between check-ins.
What does IT need to roll this out to a remote team?
Nothing beyond the app: staff install NCheck Attend on their own iOS or Android phone and enrol in seconds — no MDM or special hardware required.
